If you live in a fault zone, you need to make sure you are prepared for an earthquake. Even if you have never experienced one or think the chances are low, you should still have emergency supplies in easily accessible locations.
You will need not one, but two, earthquake emergency kits and you can easily put them together yourself.
If an earthquake strikes you may not need to evacuate but could be stuck in your home without essential services like water, power, phones, stores or transit. Make sure you have everything you need to survive for at least 72 hours.
Make sure you have an earthquake emergency evacuation kit with everything you might need near the door in case you need to leave your home. Every family member should have their own custom evacuation kit at home and at work. Check your kits regularly for expired items. It might be easiest to check them twice a year when the time changes.
You should have a first aid kit in each of your other emergency kits.
